I'd appreciate the meaning for this idiom (?)

Hello Ofelia,

It is possible to use the expression "dead on" to mean "exactly right" or "correct".
Was "You are dead on" the entire sentence?

If there was more to the sentence, then the meaning could be something totally different. If you said "He is dead on his feet", for example, that would mean that he is extremely tired.
